While the holder is especially de signed to be used in conjunction with a tie generally known as a tOur-iirhand, it may be used conveniently and economically in conjunction with other forms of ice.

A further object of the invention is to provide means in conjunction "ith a holder of the character stated for properly holding the tie at an adjusted or de's ed position with relation to the collar irrespective of the distance otthe collar button-with relation to the lower edge of the neck band of the collar. That is to say, the deuce-is provided with an attaching means which may be adjusted with relation to thetrame of the holder and whereby the tiemay be applied to collars mounted upon different shirts and in which the distance from the collar button holes in the neck band to the lower edge of the neck band varies. v

A still further object or" the invention is to provide in a tie holder a. frame consisting of arm portions connected together by an intermediately disposed downwardly curved bowed portion and to which is joined a stem whereby the side or end parts of the bowed portion will hold the knot oi the tie in proper shape.

Other objects of the intention will be made manifest as the description thereof progresses.

In the accompanying drawings:

f The frame of the tie holder includes and portions 1 which are disposed atan angle with relation toeach other and wh ch are provided at their outer ends with er I e'ads The crossheads S carry outsnnding ced prongs 3. A downwardly bowed o tion d. is provided and the bowed por tion 4; carries ata point midway between its ends a downwardly disposed stem 5. The stem 5 is curved longitudinally and is wedge shape and with its pointed end downwardly disposed. The stem 5 is-provided in the vicinity of its l wer end ith slot A ring 7 is slidably' mounted on'the stem 5 and may trictionally engage the upper portion thereof. A tape 8 is connectedat one end with the ring 7 and extends down alongthe stem 5." Said tape is threaded through the slot 6 and carried around the lower pointed end of the stem 5 and carries .L 3 L, .d with the shank of a collar button 10 in o. i'i'ianner as best indicated in Figure 4 otthedrawings. The necktie which is applied is indicated at ll. In applying the necktie to the holder oneset of the prongs 3. is engaged through the side of the tie at; a point between the ends thereof and-the tie is carried along one arm 1 of the frame and around the curved bowed portion a and stem 5 and then up along the other arm and engaged with the other set of prongs, as shown in Figure 3 of the drawings. The end portions of the tie are then wrapped around that part of the tie whiclris wound about the stemand the bowed portion 4t, and the knot is formedina usual manner. In Order to connect the tie and the tie holder with the collar and shirtythe hook 9 is first passed over the shankof the Collar button 10 and then one arm portion 1 is inserted under one end of the collar and finally the other arm portion 1 is inserted under the opposite end or". the collar. Thus the tie holder and the tie are applied to the'collar and shirt. Should Variation occur'in the distance between the collar button holes and the loweredge of the collar band of theshirt, the ring 7 may be adjusted along the stem 5 wherebythe tape 8 is lengthened or shortened with respect to that portion thereotwhich projects beyond the endot the stem 5 andconsequently the a" t otherend a hook 9 which may he cu- I to the holder wil for properly holding the tie in shape, for

holding the knot of the tie in proper form, and also tor holding the tie in proper pos1 tion with relation to the collar and bosom ot' the shirt. notwithstanding the fact that there may be variation in dil'l'erent shirts in the distance between the collar button holes and the lower edges of the neck bands.

The sleeve 12 is slidably mounted upon the tape 8 and may slip over the end of the stem portion 5 land trictionally engage the stem portion and clamp the tape at an adjusted position upon the stem portion in a manner as most clearly shown in Figure 4 ot the Thus it is seenthat means are provided tor holding the tape at an adjustedposition with relation to the stem.
